Sukie Iron On Art

I bought this book ages ago and while i have used some of the iron ons i must admit it did get forgotten for a while, so i decided to frame some of my favourites for the picture wall

I ironed the images i liked onto white fabric and carefully peeled back the backing paper

I repeated it with the other images and then framed the fabric

Isnt the cat on the scooter just amazing!

The picture didnt quite pop how i wanted it to so i painted the mount gold to give it a bit more depth. I might repaint the frame too, maybe a pale grey, but im happy with it for now, and i love that ive been able to use my iron on book again!

Finished Drawstring Bags

I finished off the snake bags i made with some 888 reptile branding!

I used this wonderful iron on Artists Transfer Paper for the images. It gives a great matte finish, so it looks like the images have been printed on rather than transferred, good stuff!

Iron on Decal Book and Tshirt

I bought this cute little decal transfer book by Sukie earlier in the year and i finally got round to using it!

I chose a cute little motel scene to put on my tshirt and its fab :) I'm a decal newbie so the transfer wasnt exactly perfect (iron too hot i think since the backing paper went brown!) but i actually like that it looks a bit old and worn - instant distressing!

I recommend the book though, theres some brilliant designs in there, im trying to resist adding them to everything i own!

Robot Tshirt Printable

I feel in love with this little robot printable over at creature comforts so i had a go at making my own one last night. I messed up the iron on transfer a bit, me and irons are never the best of friends! But i still think hes dead cute, and its the little washers as wheels that just make the whole thing. He reminds me a bit of Wall.e!
